Abstract

Intelligent emergency window, which deals primarily with the safety of opening in case of accidents, an important factor in passenger transport vehicles, being a problem of vital necessity; This emergency window, is aimed at any means of locomotion that uses emergency windows, such as railways, buses, minibuses or other passengers, and is based on an operating equipment, automatically or manually commanded, near or distant from the vehicle, which according to the implications of the accident due to a crash, tilt, tilt, excess temperature or others, it sends an order to the operating system, which acts on actuation mechanisms allowing the unlocking assemblies to slide with the automatic expulsion of the removable frame by opening the window and leaving a wide and safe exit to help those affected in the accident.

Description

Smart emergency window.

Object of the invention

This descriptive report, as indicated by stated, is intended to have a relief window, which offers an emergency exit to any dangerous situation in the field of automotive, mainly in wagons of Railway and passenger buses. Depending on situations of certain danger, it comes off automatically or manually the window pane, with or without built-in frame, remaining for both the gap that occupied the window completely open and released, thus allowing occupants to leave travelers users of this means of automotive, in order to guarantee full security in all dangerous situations possible.

State of the art

The known in emergency systems of exit in the field of the automotive sector, generally consists of manual methods, the most common being the presence of a tool (hammer) on the window marked as distress for the traveler to use it, jump or splinter the glass to leave the gap free; there are also punches coupled on a box attached to the glass itself, which at pressing it causes the glass to break.

Likewise, as background information of the invention that is proposed, we will cite as means of opening emergency or emergency windows: US2004 /
0055218 Al for "SAFETY WINDOW" by Isaac Forsyth and Neil Forsyth and EP 1101895 A2 for "EMERGENCY EXIT COMPRISING A MULTIPLE GLAZED WINDOW" by Pilkington United Kingdom Limited.

These systems do not always fulfill their mission, being sure its safe operation in case of accident, we have to take into account the situation of chaos that is presented before a accident, which in addition to the usual confusion and nervousness, they present disorientations such as that the breaking element does not is in place, or its operation is unknown, which it makes it impossible to leave the exit space free or exempt from such emergencies in case of serious accidents, which unfortunately occur, therefore it must be understood that with the security of opening an exit can not count on relief windows that do not fulfill their mission 100%.

Description of the invention

The invention patent proposed here is an intelligent emergency window, which departs completely from everything known as background, by providing a glass that can be of the same characteristics as the rest or window, which can be released automatically or manually, in situ or remotely, through a device that acts on the closing or anchoring points that fix the window according to a series of conditions and parameters such as inclination, deceleration, temperature (fire), derailment or others, remaining in such a way The space occupied by the window is completely free, which is detached from the vehicle, allowing passengers to leave and evacuate through said hole.

Associated with this automatic expulsion system other manual procedures are contemplated both from the inside as from outside the vehicle or automotive medium, affirming the full safety of the behavior of said provision and therefore the confirmation of guarantees so that the traveler or user can win the exit.

The smart emergency window, according to the invention, as stated above, consists of some immediate action mechanisms, which can be operated from inside or outside the com-boy, vehicle, wagon or other, by any appropriate known system or apparatus or Specially designed for this purpose.

Figure 2 corresponds to the interior elevation of the removable frame (2), equipped with fixed closures (4).

Figure 3, is an elevation view interior, profile and floor of the fixed frame (3) in detail of the mobile locks (6) mounted in corresponding guide slots (7) and linked by an indeformable flexible joint element (5).

Figure 4 shows a detail in plan of the arrangement in its slot (7) of the movable closure (6) and the spring of safety (12) of the closing mechanism.

Figure 5 shows an elevation detail inside the movable seal (6) attached to the outer edge of the fixed frame (3), linked by corresponding connecting element non-deformable flexible (5) equipped with a safety spring (12) which guarantees the blocking situation of the closures in its use normal.

Figure 6 corresponds to a detail of a sectioned perspective of a possible drive element solution or drive device (8), having a pyrotechnic initiator (10). Other options that are considered as driving elements are pneumatic or hydraulic pistons, electric or other suitable drives. Said driving element may be operated automatically according to a series of parameters or by people manually, on site or remotely in order to produce the release of the removable frame (2).

Figure 7 is a section with the different parts involved in this emergency window assembly in which section (3) belongs to the fixed frame attached to the chassis of the car or bus, the sectioned profile (2) corresponds to the removable frame, attached to the double glass by an element adhesive (13), sections (J) represent the gaskets of tightness of the window and finally the elements are observed of expulsion (9) together with their housings (15) that help the detachable frame detachment (2). The rest of the elements of set have been described above.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of these figures and references numerical, it can be seen that the whole window set intelligent emergency (1), basically has two members of stand reciprocally mounted and firmly against each other; a frame removable (2) and a fixed frame (3), which is fixed on the chassis of the vehicle, bus or wagon and on which they are positioned mobile and centering closure elements, which, preferably, they are shaped like angular, sharp fingernails, which are recorded against other fixed closing parts (4), with the same preferred figure of angular, sharp nail, overlapping against each other in fixed positions on the removable frame (2), which supports the glass in its different compositions.

This removable or ejected frame (2), is released thanks to the action of an effect drive mechanism pyrotechnic, pneumatic, hydraulic, electric, mechanical or other appropriate, which is activated automatically or manually, whose committed is to produce a shift in the unlock set through an indeformable flexible joint element (5) constituted by a braided tempered steel serge that links the bases (11) of the mobile locks (6) that in turn move guided by grooves (7) located on the outer edge of the fixed frame (3), for that purpose, said slots (7) have a minimum length to rid the moving fingernails (6) of the fixed (4) of the removable frame (2), releasing it and therefore allowing the ejection elements to detach the assembly Removable frame and glass. The window opens instantly and spontaneously as soon as the unlocking occurs, leaving as Consequently, the gap occupied by it is completely free.

The connecting element (5) is secured by a spring (12) in order to keep the movable closures (6) in its locked position during normal operation of the window.
